      Usually just laugh it off and ask what I did or how it worked. Plus most of my friends know what I’m doing now so they just tell me to stop it!

      One of my favorite things to do is if you are at an airport, and they’re are no seats left, go to the check-in desk and start a queue. Just stand there and wait for a few minutes, even if there’s a few hours till your next flight. People will eventually start to queue behind you, its like a snow ball effect as well. The bigger the queue the larger the amount of people who stand up and join it. So when the queue is long enough you can go and sit down! And no one will remember or notice you were the one who started the queue.
